All this makes a lot more sense with the lens of mobile gaming. Effort required is little, and margins are huge. If players don't partake in microtransactions, you just bombard them with ads.

This is the future of Unity. They are counting on devs not even bothering with the whole monetization model and instead expect them to turn on IronSource ads.
